What could have been a good social commentary about what’s wrong with ‘Broken Britain’, Harry Brown comes across as too shallow and Right Wing for most modern tastes. Michael Caine is the film’s saviour with a stand out performance.
Reviews
Tales of the Golden Age
This easily accessible film about a dark period in Romania’s history is interspersed with warm humour, drama and food-for-thought throughout.
The Lives of Others
The Lives of Others takes a serious look at the suspicion and claustrophobia of the old East Germany with admirable authenticity and humanity.
A Serious Man
A Serious Man tackles some big questions but this occasionally funny dark comedy is a little too clever for it’s own good and is just not engrossing enough to grip the casual viewer.
Rocky
Rocky is the definitive sports movie and Sylvester Stallone’s greatest work. Every boy must see this as a rite of passage into manhood. Adriaaaan!
Capitalism: A Love Story
Not quite as entertaining as some of his work, Michael Moore’s latest documentary is still a fascinating glimpse into how the financial system the U.S. prides itself on may actually have led to its decline.
